Reply to comment by AG2dayAG in Biodiversity: Ocean 'dead zones' are proliferating due to global warming by filosoful

The cause is known. It's chemical runoff from modern agriculture (most because of livestock feed).

So it isn't technically climate change as it is more careless agriculture. Laws should get strict on chemical control

The ocean dead zones have a critical impact on the ocean ecosystem, and the oceans are the "lungs" of the planet. It is very much a climate issue.

Besides that, animal agriculture is one of the two leading causes of GHG emissions, and the leading cause of deforestation.
